some scenes from thanksgiving

We had a lovely and relaxing Thanksgiving at my parents' house. Very nice for me as I didn't have to do (most of) the cooking nor any cleaning. Hooray! I made 3 pies and the sweet potato casserole and Faith made the cranberries and green bean casserole (old school). My mom made everything else and it was delicious!

I wish I'd gotten more shots of the table and and all the food laid out--so pretty, don't you think? Table setting (and flowers) is my mom's "thing." Isn't this lovely? She thrifted those plates for cheap.

I'm honestly just thankful for a day for us all to be together and healthy and well fed. That is enough.

I love those plates. I was also going to say that I like the turkey candle holders. It looks like you had a great thanksgiving and yes, your daughter looks a lot like you. Looks like your children are growing up. :-)

About Me

Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm wife to Ken, stepmom to Ben, and mom to Jacob and Faith, Dieter and Rainer. I like the domestic scene, salty/sweet combos, recipe reviews, the smell of rosemary, babies, the feeling of having exercised, hand clapping rhymes, books, Friday Night Lights, teacups, and laundry that has been washed, dried, folded and put away.
